Dude... *flops*
<span style="font-size:90"><br>He's lame..<br>I guess I shouldn't be surprised..since no ones does anything but feed him and trun him in/out..but I'm disappointed. 
<br><br>He was fine while I was leading him, sidestepping him, etc..I lunged him on his left circle and he did fine, completely lame on him right circle. He was fine at a walk, and as soon as I moved up to a trot he had no clue what to do with his feet since he was limping with his front left.<br><br>I'm not going to go and blame my BO..but I'm pretty sure she could've helped it.<br>I'm the only one that ever cleans his hooves, and I'm not out there everyday, or even every other day..<br>Since he didn't have any heat in his legs and there was no inflammation we lunged him again to see if we could pinpoint it..no such luck. We cleaned his hooves as best as we could and figured out his frogs are starting to look a bit thrushy, and the hoof (inside, all aroundthe frog) is shedding..I'm assuming that part is natural, but I'm worried about around the frogs..coz it had the disgusting, puke-worthy rotting smell...<br><br>I'm hoping he won't be lame next weekend, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Farrier is coming for him and Sockies on Monday, so hopefully he'll say something about why he'd be lame..<br><br>Cookies to those who read.(:<br></span>
